CASE=Computer Assisted Software Engineering
Modeling tools=the same thing, basically (can I use 'basic'-ally in a 
discussion about programming?)

Semantics=arguments and there's too many of those.

You got my drift, though. Bottom line is too much poorly written code, 
much of which runs on Windows and which helps Windows sorry stability 
reputation. Too many lazy coders and downright stupid project managers.
etc. I worked as a software test engineer for a while and what we got 
from development initially was usually crap. When I was a configuration 
manager I got to see first hand what the problem was: stupid managers 
who couldn't play by the rules who had to be beat back like a cage full 
of tigers by me with the whip and chair. I finally said something that 
rhymed with truck it and bailed out. The best thing that came out of 
those two gigs was my exposure to an early version of RH and then a 
later Mandrake. From then on it's been Linux on my desktop when 
possible.
